To Fort Morgan scofflaws

Just because Fort Morgan Municipal Court can no longer impose jail time does not mean you can get away with everything. In fact, if you get caught breaking the law, it still could mean a date with a judge in Morgan County Court or district court and potentially a stay in jail, instead of only a visit to the city court.

To those planning to buy a real Christmas tree

Though some retailers have been more impacted by a shortage of Christmas trees than others, it sounds like area stores already have all the trees they will get this year. So there's no reason to wait to get your tree.

To Fort Morgan residents

I am heartened to hear that our city's fire department remains well-funded and staffed with volunteers at a time when many rural departments are struggling. But I remain worried reduced property tax valuations across the county could affect fire protection service in surrounding communities.

To Brush City Council,

I was glad to see the council decide to provide Mastronardi with a resolution explaining its decision not to approve Mastronardi's worker housing plan. Mastronardi deserved an explanation and it was useful and important for residents to get one, as well.

The housing shortage in Fort Morgan is quite real. While it is good to hear that the city is looking into this problem, there are people who need and want places to live right now.

To Brush Police Department

I was glad to hear that you were able to pursue your drug investigation beyond your city limits and take down the criminals involved. Drug crimes obviously are not bound by city limits, and neither should your investigation have such limitations.

To area residents,

I was excited to hear that Sherri Huddle has brought an unusual and exciting new business to Fort Morgan in the form of a doll hospital. Hopefully residents will take advantage of the close-to-home opportunity to get their favorite old dolls and stuffed animals restored.

To Sara Reichert

Your Grandfather's Trunk program proved quite popular among seniors and highlighted several interesting artifacts from the museum collection. More of these programs, please.

To Colorado Plains Medical Center

Congrats on being named a Duke LifePoint Quality Affiliate. We in Fort Morgan recognize the value of your medical facility, but it is always nice to hear those outside this community say it, too.
